The coffee cup holds 180 mL. The client drank 2? cups. To estimate the total number of milliliters consumed, multiply 180×
7/3 (2?). When a mixed number is present, change it to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and then adding that total to the numerator: 2×
3 = 6 + 1 = 7/3. Therefore, 180 mL × 7/3 = 420 mL (180 ÷ 3 = 60 × 7 = 420).
